My suggestion is something like

(define-key org-mode-map [remap outline-promote] 'org-promote-subtree)
(define-key org-mode-map [remap outline-demote] 'org-demote-subtree)
[...]

permanently built into Org mode (not in org-mode-hook) for these and
maybe even a few more outline-* bindings to get the incompatible
outline-* bindings out of the way from within Org mode.

This remap does not affect the bindings in Outline mode and resolves
the issue of the OP in Org mode, independent of, to which key any user
might have mapped outline-*mote.
